We weren’t like other classes as we never were shy or scared. We started our first year by electing officers under the guidance of Miss Mabel Priestly. Our officers were: President ...................................... Richard Ball Vice-President ................................. Roland White Secretary ...................................... Marion Pease Treasurer ................................ Mary Lou Demrnons Chronicle Reporter ...................... Carol Hammerstrom Student Council Representatives ............. Maxine Twombly Richard Ball The boys this year weren’t very sports minded as we had only Roland White who was our representative in baseball. The girls did extremely well, however, as we had Marion Pease, Dee Dee Rol- lins, and Sylvia Shepard as regulars on the softball team. Dee Dee Rol- lins as a regular on the volleyball team; and Dee Dee Rollins, Marion Pease, and Elizabeth Lovely running in track. We also had Faye Rollins as a sub in volley- ball, Marion Pease and Norene Holmes as subs in cheerleading and Norene Holmes as a sub in track. We held two very successful socials during the year. As we came to the close of our first high school year we were minus three of our original members. We had lost Richard Witham, Roland Hodgdon and Donald Stevens. SOPHOMORE YEAR When we came back to school as “Silly Sophs” we were minus three of our former classmates. They were Elizabeth Lovely, Barbara Shepard and Lawrance T wombly. We elected our class officers for the year. Phis time they were: President ....................................... Faye Rollins Vice-President .................................. Richard Ball Secretary ............................................... Norene Holmes Treasurer ................................. Mary Lou Demrnons Chronicle Reporter ....................... Carol Hammerstrom Student Council Representatives ............... Dorothea Rollins Richard Ball Our advisor was Miss Shirley Taylor, later known as Mrs. Fountain. This year we didn’t have any boys in sports, but the girls once again made up for that. On the softball team we had Dee Dee Rollins, Marion Pease and Sylvia Shepard on the first team and Norene Holmes on the second. In cheerleading we were represented by Marion Pease and Norene Holmes. In volleyball there were Dee Dee and Faye Rollins and in track we had Dee Dee Rollins and Marion Pease. They both took first prize in the races they partici- pated in at Deerfield Fair. We held our two socials. One was our Freshmen initiation and the other was 8 talent show which was won by Joanne Tuttle. She played her saxophone. Our two candidates for Junior Prom Queen were Karla Neilsen and Faye Rol- lins. We were very proud of Marion Pease who was elected as Miss Hi-Hat at one of the socials the Juniors held. With graduation at hand again we were all looking forward to being “Jolly Juniors.” During the year we lost Roland White and Maxine Twombly. JUNIOR YEAR Starting our Junior year we were down to 13 members. During the summer we lost Rena Hodgdon, Elizabeth Wheeler, and Lawrance Tasker. Soon after start- ing though, we gained Bigelow Wood, Merton MacAdams, and Farrell Miner. Far- rell didn’t stay long as he left us to join the U. S. Air Force. We now had Mr. Sumner Allen as our advisor, and he proved to be our favo- rite. We elected class officers who were: President .................................................. Paul O’Neal Vice-President .................................. Marion Pease Secretary ...................................... Norene Holmes Treasurer .................................................. Faye Rollins Chronicle Reporter .............................. Norene Holmes Student Council Representatives ................ Dorothea Rollins Richard Ball For the first time we had a representative in every sports activity. In both cross country and basketball we had Bigelow Wood from our class. Bigelow Wood and Dick Young were on the baseball team. In softball Dee Dee Rollins, Marion Pease and Sylvia Shepard represented us. Marion Pease and Norene Holmes were cheerleaders and Nonie was elected to be in the state Miss Basketball Cheerleader Contest. Dee Dee and Faye Rollins and Carol Hammerstrom were on the volleyball team and Dee Dee Rollins, Sylvia Shepard and Norene Holmes were in track. On May 8, we held the annual Junior Prom. Music was supplied by Carl’s Cavaliers. The theme was “Tropical Paradise” and the orchestra picked Barbara Dee as queen and Norene Holmes as an aide. Both were from our class. Joan Mihachik, a sophomore, was the other aide. Dee Dee Rollins and Carol Hammerstrom were in the Prize Speaking Contest. Carol walked off with third prize. The title of her essay was “Mary White.” Faye Rollins, Carol Hammerstrom and Richard Ball were in the annual Women’s Club Essay Contest. Faye was unable to attend because of sickness. None of them won a prize but all did a good job. Faye Rollins and Marion Pease were picked by the seniors as usherettes for the senior play and Dorothea Rollins and Mary Lou Demmons were the marshalls for graduation. As we came to the close of our Junior year we said good-bye to Mr. Allen, our advisor, Sylvia Shepard and Merton MacAdams who finished out the year but did not return for our Senior year. SENIOR YEAR All too soon we started our last year at Coe-Brown. Although we all looked 9 forward to being Seniors, we kind of hated to leave. At Deerfield Fair we took first prize with our float. It was a ship, the “USS Northwood,” returning the service men and women from Korea. We had Mr. Leskowitz as our advisor and under his guidance wc elected our class officers. President ............................... Carol Hammerstrom Vice-President .......................................... Paul O’Neal Secretary ....................................... Marion Pease Treasurer ..................................... Richard Young Chronicle Reporter .................................... Norene Holmes Student Council Representatives .............. Dorothea Rollins Richard Rail Dick Ball was also elected president of the Student Council. Late in the fall, Dick Ball was killed in an automobile accident. Dick had been one of our class leaders and we were shocked and saddened by his death. Dorothea Rollins assumed his presidency of the Student Council and Bigelow Wood was elected to take his place as Student Council Representative. In sports we had Bigelow Wood in cross-country. We had Bigelow Wood and Dick Young in both basketball and baseball. Big was captain of the basketball team. In girls’ sports we were represented by Dee Dee Rollins and Nonie Holmes in softball, volleyball and track. Dee Dee was captain of both softball and volley- ball. In cheerleading we had Norene Holmes and Mary Lou Deinmons. Nonie head-cheerleader was once again elected to enter the state Miss Basketball Cheer- leader Contest. The Seniors took 2nd and 3rd prize in the annual Women’s Club E say Con- test. Carol Hammerstrom took 2nd prize with her essay about Indo-China and Norene Holmes was third with her essay about France. Faye Rollins also entered her essay but was unable to attend. Dorothea Rollins was elected by the class and faculty for the D.A.R. good citi- zenship award. We presented our Senior Play on the 24th and 25th of March. The name of it was “Meet Corliss Archer.” We had a wonderful time and the play proved to be very successful. As usherettes for the play we picked Ellen Lovely and Shirley Folsom from the Junior Class. We started working on the annual Prize Speaking Conte t. Mary Lou Dem- mons and Norene Holmes represented us and Mary Lou took 3rd prize. The name of her essay was “A Pair of Sexes.” Soon after, we started working on graduation. It was announced that Carol Hammerstrom was Valedictorian and Dorothea Rollins was Salutatorian. Faye Rollins was an honor student. For our Baccalaureate Services on June 13 and our Graduation Exercises on June 14th, we chose Eleanor Jacques as our marshall. The evening of our gradua- tion we had our annual senior reception. Our motto was “Too Low They Build, Who Build Beneath the Stars.” Our flowers were red roses and the colors were blue and white. For our class trip we went to the beach and then to a night ball-game. There are many more things that we remember about Coe-Brown, most of them good, but to make our four years successful, we all have a few bad memories. Now that we are out of school we find that most of the members of our class are going on to further their education. We certainly had fun and benefited by our four years at Coe-Brown Northwood Academy. Norene Holmes Bigelow Wood 10 CLASS WILL We, the class of 1954, of Coe-Brown Northwood Academy, being of almost sound mind and body, do hereby promulgate this legal document to be our last will and testament. Article I: We the Senior Class do hereby will and bequeath to the Juniors our dignity, good looks, pleasing personalities, our willingness to learn, our popularity with our faculty, (??) sense of humor, and our infamous and notorious record, hop- ing they appreciate it as much as we did. Article II: I, Mary Lou Demmons, do hereby will and bequeath to Mrs. MacPherson her typing room keys, a waste paper basket, a box of chalk, and anything else that may be missing. Article III: I, Carol Hammerstrom, do hereby will and bequeath to Connie Mifflin my passion for diets. Article IV: I, Norene Holmes, do hereby will and bequeath to Barbara DeMeritt my “vampish ways,” in case she is effected by the man shortage. It helped me!!! Good Luck, Dizz!! Article V: I, Paul O’Neal, do hereby will and bequeath to Everett Robinson my ability to earn and keep all the money I can get my hands on. You can always use money, Robbie! Article VI: I, Marion Pease, do hereby will and bequeath to Virginia Wood my sister Joanie, as a source of information in regard to the actions of my younger brother Georgie. Article VII : I, Faye Rollins, do hereby will and bequeath to the teachers, my patience and willingness to help others. I hope that the future sophomores will benefit from this.

English books, and battle-scarred desks to the Junior Class. All the rest of our broken pencils, used chewing gum, and all our worldly goods of every kind and nature, wherever situated and found, we give and de- vise to and unto students of Coe-Brown Northwood Academy.

Bashful but Willing CLASS PROPHECY MASTER OF CEREMONIES - Welcome to the tenth reunion of the class of ’54 of Coe-Brown Northwood Academy. Wouldn’t it be fun to know what each one is doing? As we call on each member, will he please stand and I’ll give the information which we have on them. First of all, we would like to present Carol Hammerstrom, who was the presi- dent of the class. Carol is now Superintendent of Nurses at the Elliot Hospital. She has just been given an award for a new chemical she discovered that will kill all kinds of bacteria. Why, here is Faye Rollins! Hi, Faye! We hear that Faye is living up to the old saying that private secretaries sit on their boss’s knee. Faye is speedy behind the typewriter but it must be her boss, Lyman Hammons, who keeps her busy. Is that right, Faye? Here is Paul O’Neal who owns his own business and who is a skilled electri- cian. He is top man working on the rocket ship which is leaving this week for the moon. Mary Lou Demmons — Mary Lou is teaching first grade in Claremont. She is very busy with her little ducklings but not too busy to have a little spare time for the Navy. Oh, yes, here is Marion Pease, who is leading a very snappy life. She has added another name to hers. Marion is now known as Mrs. Marion Pease Rollins. She and her hubby, Willis Rollins, have their own Well Drilling business and she, by the way, is top secretary. This is Richard Young who is a skilled carpenter. Richard has just remodeled Coe-Brown Northwood Academy and the President of the United States has asked him to do a rush job on his home at the White House. Is that right? If not, please correct me. Here is the head nurse of the United States Marines, Norene Holmes. Norene lias just returned from Russia where her new medicine saved many service men’s lives. Is Dorothea Rollins here? We understand she is the principal of all grade schools in New York. Last week she received the reward as “The Best Teacher cf the Year,” by the Parents. Incidentally, the children think so, too. And last, but by no means least, is Bigelow Wood. He is a skilled draftsman and has just drawn up a set of plans for the making of the submarine, “The Killer,” which will make Bigelow the outstanding man of the year. While the class is talking over old memories, we will leave them with the hope that they will succeed in their ambitions. 13 SENIOR CLASS OPINIONS Favorite Sports ....... Favorite Book .........

O. D. To Carol we give a big fat E, To make her the shame of her family; All through school you’ve got straight A’s, But this is the end of your high school days. To Nonie we give this little doll. To practice on this coming fall; A fine nurse I’m sure you’ll be, Just as long as you don’t practice on me. To Marion we give this little ring, In hopes that Buddy will get in the swing; But we also hope that he won’t be late, For that very, very important date. A half a dollar we give to Tate, Although it may seem kind of late To add an inch to his corduroys. And dress up now like the bigger boys. For Dee Dee there’s a bike for two, And Shirley can no longer go with you; We hope that Shirley can take this slam, But two women are awful rough on a man. To Faye we give this little fish pole, To use on her beaus when she’s out on a stroll; In hopes she’ll catch either Buster or Skip, Whoever it is, he’ll sure be a pip! To Big we give this little chair, To carry with him everywhere; In case your girl is kind of short, This chair will help her out a lot. To Dick we give this little red hankie, So lipstick won’t show and mommie won’t spankie; Of lipstick there’ll never be a trace, Only on your mind and not on your face.
